The survey was conducted between June and September 2019 with a panel of 32 institutions. The questionnaire, online and anonymous, was sent to the directors general and the presidents of CME of the CHUs. The complete response rate is 33%, or 21 respondents, it says.

For 95% of respondents, the AI ​​"will have a strong impact on hospitals" in the next five years.

Similarly, 57% of respondents see "the arrival of AI very positively" and 43% "rather" positive.

Three quarters of respondents (76%) believe that AI is a strategic priority in their hospital.

The highest expectations are at the medical level: 81% of respondents believe that the AI ​​will "free up more time for tasks with high added value" and increase "the speed and reliability of decision-making" and 57% expect it to "reduce the risk of error".

IA "will have positive effects on professional practice conditions in hospitals" for 95% of respondents.

In contrast, only 24% believe that artificial intelligence can "improve health and quality of life at work" or "improve the economic performance of the hospital".

Two-thirds (67%) of respondents have already implemented at least one AI project in their institution.

Among these projects, 43% concern research, 38% support for medical and healthcare practices, 38% the management of activities, 14% the patient journey and 14% the quality of care.

The directors general and presidents of CHUs perceive risks: only 5% of respondents considered that there were none.

"The dehumanization of work and the loss of social ties" is the first risk, cited by 62% of respondents. They are 29% to fear a "deterioration of the level of employment".

The main challenges perceived by the decision-makers with regard to the AI ​​are to "identify the fields where the IA brings the most benefits and to prioritize them" (86%), to "anticipate the mutation of the trades and the rise in competences "(62%) and to" anticipate changes in the organization of work and the division of labor "(62%).

Two-thirds of respondents said that the major obstacle to deploying AI in hospitals is "the lack of specific skills and expertise".

Finally, 91% of those interviewed want "public funding to support the development of real cases of AI in hospitals".

In the spring of 2018, the government had presented its plan "AI for humanity" to "make France a leading country on AI," it is recalled.
